GODS FORGIVENESS.
HIS HONOR THE JUDGE.

The case of the Stale VS.. John Luf
vas the sensation Of the day when
landed in Silvcrton.
My visit to this rough mining towr
was a matter Of business, and / was
somewhat annoyed to find that the PEG
pie were inclined to talk of nothing
but the killing of Henry Saxon and the
trial of his murderer.
But the story of the crime interested
ME in spite Of myself. The murder
had occurred in the Metropolitan hotel,
the very house in which | had engaged
"a room for a week.
The scene of the killing was the
room next to mine. Several DAYS be.
fore my arrival the room was occupied
by John Luff and Henry Saxon, two
w~ell-known sporting men, who had
been making Silverton their headquar-
ters kuring the winter. The two were
chums, but sometimes they quarrelled
in their cups, and it was no uncommon
thing for them to fight. After adjust
ing their differences, however, they
generally tumbled into the same bed
and slept like brothers. Their last
quarrel had a fatal termination. After
Il bout with their fists in the hotel office
they retired to their room Later in
the night a loud shout caused several
OF the guests to rush in, and they saw
a spectacle that frozc their blood. On
the bed was stretched the ~liteless form
of Saxon, with a crimson current gush-
ing from his breast. BY his side stood
Luff, n hand still bloody, and his
n betraying ungovernable fear
and excitement.
The Silverton miners and tradesmen
were not long in coming to a conclu-
sion. The coroner's jury made it out
a ease of willful murder. and fastened
the guilt upon Lutf. 1t was in vain
that Luff expressed his horror. He de-
clared that some one had entered the
room. Awakened by Il noise. he
placed his hand on Saxon and felt the
warm blood flowing from the wound.
Springing to his feet he turned OF the
light, and when he saw his dripping
hand and the dead body of his friend
he gave a trenzied cry for help.
OF course, nobody believed this story
To make the matter worse, a small
dagger belonging to Luf was missing
from its usual place on the mantel. 1t
was only too evident that the murderer
had stabbed his friend to the heart with

s1xpAT EvrSISo. December 18th 1887.
The expectation of two widely
different events is now occupying
the minds of the people. One is
the expected arrival of Inspector
Armstrong, and the other a report
cd attack upon the place by an
armed force TO recapture the capi-
tol building and restore the execu
tive department 20 Bushyhead and
Bunch. As reason for the first
is dispatch from Agent Owen,
yesterday, that the inspector
would probably be here this even
ing for the other a telegram to
that effect. However true or false
the latter may be there seems to
b. no great feeling OF uneasiness.
An event of the kind, so disas-
ferrous to the people Of the Cherokee
nation, is more TO be deprecated
on that account than an actual
armed conflict. While some
would be utterly astounded and
paralyzed into inactivity, others
who are secretly urging forward
the ignorant and unsuspecting to
deeds of violence will be enriching
themselves out OF the ruins of our
government.
The question now seems TO be-
since the inspector is at hand to
determine who is chief and to
quiet existing troubles-will peace
and order be fully established ?
Submission 70 the authorities that
may be declared by him viii GER
tlinly be enforced by the United
States government. This cannot
be otherwise, because that govern
Incnt cannot afford to stultify itself
by permitting one Of its orders to
be disrespected.

this morning he received no calls
by members Of the Downing par,
~. At about 8 O'Clock Chief
Mayes and Smith, Senator Bel
and Interpreter coval, by invita-
ton. were in conference with him
for about an hour. He informed
them that he had not come to in.
terfere with anything that had
been done, nor TO pass judgment
Of his own as 10 any particular
course that should be pursued in
the settlement Of existing difiicul.
ties that he had received his in
structions from the president OF
the United States and secretary
of the interior; that they had ex.
amined the Cherokee laws in rela.
tion to elections, the organization
of the council and the manner OF
contesting the chiefs election.
These, he said, were plain and
easy of understanding, and why
the letter of the law, in counting
the vote for chief, had not been
complied with, he could not inn
agine any reasonable excuse. He
preferred that the two houses OF
the national council proceed, as
the law directs, with the. reckoning
Of the votes, without objecting to
any, and when the result is obtain
ed, declare in the usual manner
who is elected. This he said must
be done before any other busin ess
can be taken up. He came sim
ply TO direct according to the orders
he had received, and not to dictat c
terms outside of Cherokee laws,
or as he might personally view
matters. He was anxious that all
differences be settled by the Cher
okee authorities and that the af-
fairs of their government proceed
peaceably and as the laws direct,
without any interference on part Of
the United States.
He expressed the opinion that
Mayes and Smith had not assum-
ed the reins Of government in the
right way hut that he did not in
tend, nor was Ne instructed, to in
terfere with the present state Of af.
fairs, further than to see the vote
for chief computed and result de-
clared. Mr.. Bell rem 1rked that it
could not be admitted that the
course adopted in seating Mayes
ard Smith was entirely wrong, but
that it might be a little irregular.
He advised that his recommen-
dation be complied with at once,
as there was danger in delay and
further wrangling about matters.
In this connection, he remarked
that the people in the adjoining
states and at Washington were re-
joicing at the prospect of a speedy
dissolution of our governmen Deem
ing it as a God-send to them and
their interests. Not only to them,
he remarked, is ii a cause of rejoic-
ing bat to many of our own citizens
who had nothing to lose but all to
gain.
